The only thing they do is make owners paranoid about how hot the engine is running. If your fitting it to an air cooled engine they run and are designed to run at wildly differing temperatures depending on the ambient air temperature. As long as the engine is as designed then VW knew what they where doing and it will run OK no matter what temperature.
